I'll never forget my first kiss. We were both 18-years-old, almost 19-years-old. A little late for my first kiss, but it wasn't her first kiss. There's nothing like the first kiss. I even remember her name, Kathy. For the life of me, I don't remember her last name, though.
I remember that once I kissed her, I was in love, puppy love. I never felt anything like it. It was a powerful feeling. I couldn't eat. I couldn't sleep. All I could think about was Kathy.
I wrote her name everywhere, a thousand times a day. I doodled her name on all my papers and books, Kathy, Kathy, Kathy, Kathy.
As if it happened yesterday, I remember my first kiss, even though it happened a lifetime ago. Never having kissed anyone before, except for my Mom, my aunts, and my grandmother, I didn't know how to kiss. All I knew was that I wanted to kiss this girl because she was pretty and she had big tits. Did I mention that she had big tits? She had big tits.
I remember when she kissed me, she stuck her tongue in my mouth. Eww. Gross. That was new. That was foreign. That was French.
I didn't know what to do. At first I was grossed out when she stuck her tongue in my mouth. Yet, as soon as her experienced tongue touched my virginal tongue, I felt an excitement that I hadn't felt since my Dad bought me a Lionel train for Christmas, when I was barely old enough to know what a Lionel train was, never mind to even want one.
I was slow to mature sexually. Most guys have their first kiss years before their 18th birthday, but not me. Too busy playing sports, baseball, basketball, and boxing. I never realized that all my sporting interests began with a B, until now, baseball, basketball, and boxing. Weird. I was never into football or hockey, maybe had they been called bootball and bockey, I may have shown an interest in them. I did play bocce, though, that was fun and I was a bowler, too, now that I think of it. Maybe if golf was named, bolf, I'd be a bolfer, too.
Anyway, there was this girl that I tried picking up with my friends. I was just out of high school and home for the summer, before going away to college. Going on 19, by the time I was in college in September, I had celebrated my 18th birthday. Kathy was the same age, almost 19-years-old. I was only a month or two older than she was.
I don't know if it was because my friends were more aggressive than I had been in trying to get her phone number, or the fact that I hung back and allowed them to make fools of themselves, or maybe I just more appealed to her, but she lingered closer to me. Smiling and making eye contact, and making some light and pleasant conversation, she showed more interest in me than in them.
